With this post I was hoping to look at a concept from a reading much earlier in the semester. The Politics of Disposability, this concept sets a precedent very similar to law. The problem though is that the United States is creating the base for this precedent. The focus of the topic in question though is what to do with the Natives that are present in any country in question?
The reality is the United States successfully wiped out the majority of the indigenous people on this continent. The continuous push for more resources was the contributing factor. We have sense thrived with the plentiful resources available to us. We are a world power and the leader in most aspects around the world.
This is now becoming to the blueprint in how to boost nations positioning as well increase natural resources. This will be looked at when there are decisions needed to be made by nations around the world.
The easiest view for countries is to see the benefits of disposing of an entire people and way of life. Its cheaper and there are only small consequences compared to the large gains from it.
The biggest situation that comes to mind along with the largest remaining population of indigenous people is the tribes from the Amazon. The decreasing size of the jungle and their habitat as well as the increased contact from outsiders. These continued "improvements" or "modernization" of these countries is what is bringing about the downfall of the indigenous culture and population around the world.
